7. Pathways to Participation • Pathways to Participation is currently identifying the barriers that currently exist in aligning the sport industry training with the National Training System. • It will work through those barriers and align/map the NCAS and NOAS to units of competency in the National Training System. • It will assist Registered Training Organisations, NSOs and SSOs to work in partnership to meet each of their needs and engage the sport industry in VET. • Though the NSOs and SSOs will continue to deliver their industry-based training, these skills and competencies will be aligned with the National Training System, setting the scope for awards to be recognised either way and thereby providing an avenue to training for volunteers — both mature-age and young people alike.

8. Pathways to Participation will: • Develop a model to align a selected range of units of competence from the sport industry training package that lead to a full qualification to a NCAS, NOAS or other industry program currently being delivered by a SSO in NSW, including working with selected SSOs to align their NCAS / NOAS programs to the National Training System; • Develop resources (including case studies and/or fact sheets) on a best practice approach to bring the National Training System into the NCAS / NOAS following the alignment of the two systems within a range of selected SSOs; • Produce and disseminate marketing and promotional material to promote project outcomes to industry; and • Produce an Implementation Guide to facilitate the process of aligning the various sporting organisations to the VET system.
